Thaipusam is a grand Hindu celebration of the victory of Lord Subramaniam (also known as Lord Murugan) over the demon Surapadman. In Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, Hindu devotees take a 15-km-long walk from Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in the city’s Chinatown to Batu Caves on the outskirts of the city on the eve of Thaipusam. Some come to fulfill their vows, others seek blessings or offer thanks to the lord and other deities, and they all do it in ways that astonish onlookers.
